The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) sector has gained strength in the last years, at the national, continental and international level, as a fundamental approach in building an alternate globalisation.
The workshop will focus on both the conceptual aspects and networking strategies in building this other world.
The International Network for the Promotion of the Social Solidarity Economy (RIPESS) is now pursuing this effort in the steps of international meetings held in Lima (1997), Quebec (2001) and Dakar (2005). In North American organisations from Canada and the US have initiated in 2004 the North American Network for the Solidarity Economy (NANSE).
At the occasion of different WSF events, solidarity economy activists have played a growing role in defining this approach to the economy within the larger perspective of another globalisation.
